“
I purchased these because my Sennheiser PXC450 were getting too big to carry around once I purchased a larger netbook. So this review is more a comparison of it and the QC15.
The striking difference is the size - the PXC450 are just massive. The QC15 on the other hand have cups that just fit around the ears, and are lighter. The sound quality on both are excellent, but my personal...” --s0126471

“
Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw. Just holding the headphones in my hand, the cable wants to twist and turn and due to its material, it's never fully "straightened out" like most other headphone cables. Due to this, it's become unusable.
I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these...” --xx0xx

“first review. yayyyyyyyyyy, so here we go.
I am no super expert in headphones, but heres what I think
the bass is very rumbling. I think that it wasn't as thumping or hard hitting as i would like it, but i really think that is because i am using the dt770 velour pads. when i put my hands on the outside of them, i can feel it hitting harder then it does on my ears.
the middle ranges...” --classycans

“Got a good local deal on these as the are being replaced by the SoundTrue variant, which as far as I can tell, only adds a case and different colors.
The Bose AE2 are a very lightweight headphone with large and deep earcups that completely surround your ears with little pressure and are very comfortable.
The voicing on these is like the fit, it is a clear and open sounding...” --Blinxat

Please disregard the sliders on the left hand side, as they are broken.
Prefatory Notes:
I purchased this product and am therefore not so easily oblivious to the effects of buyer’s remorse potentially inflicted upon me, unlike those who received free review units and are more liable to completely fall prey to the novelty of new gear. I say this so that...” --dbdchc

“
Really a horrible set of headphones for the money.
I got these way back as an upgrade from stock ipod headphones and was blown away by the bass. At the time all I wanted was bass and boy did they deliver. At the time I loved them but as my music interests grew and expanded so did my realization that I had horrible headphones.
Last year I picked up a set of AWEI ES-Q3 off...” --kitten wizard

“I have used this headphones on many and whilst they are very comftorable and look quite nice, the audio quality is extremely poor and they are not very sturdy. My best description as vulgar as it may or may not be is that they are poo, very comtorable poo.

“Honestly they are expensive, but extremely satisfying headphones. The noise cancellation works wonders, specially in planes. The headphones have a great build quality although many say they look flimsy, they are actually pretty robust and fit amazingly on the head/ears. The battery life is very good, never ran out of battery and I charge them every once in a while with daily usage of the...” --riqmarmes

“The Sennheiser HD-600/HD-650 headphones & the Bose SoundTrue Ultra earphones compared
Big headphones and small earphones
I've tried on earphones and IEMs (in ear monitors) from various vendors over the years but could never find any that were value for money and sounded good.
Until now.
Always a fan of the Sennheiser HD-600 and HD-650...” --skris88

“
I know people bash on Bose because of they're over priced and I agree. I believe these retail for about $150 or so and I paid $85 for these due to employee discount at where I work. With that being said, I wouldn't recommend anyone pay the full price for these. Do some searching online, if you can trade stuff in somewhere and bring the price down a bit to somewhere the $100 range, then I'd...” --emceelokey
